    No. Not to the best of my understanding of the code that I am working with. By the way, if it helps, the code I am working with was originally written (compiled and executed successfully for Qt4.8).

    Just now I found one file with include directive #Include <QtCore/QString>.

    First please follow @kkoehne's suggestion.

    It might be time now for you to create a brand new, standalone project in Creator. Keep it tiny, put #include <QString> at the head of the .cpp file and QString temp; somewhere inside a function. As little else as possible. Try to just compile. Does that work or generate errors?

      I ran into exactly the same problem!
      Porting from V5.12.x (VS2019) to V6.5.3 (VS2022).
      How did you fix this?
      The project works perfect with VS2019!
      The problem is that the error message does not point to any useful source file than "type_traits".

        @WWebber: Have you tried the suggestion from @kkoehne in https://forum.qt.io/post/765260 ?

        Qt has to stay free or it will die.

          It points to 'type_traits' and to exactly this line:

          struct is_convertible : bool_constant<__is_convertible_to(_From, _To)> {
          // determine whether _From is convertible to _To
          };

            The error shows up with an empty CPP file holding just this single line:
            #include <qdialog.h>

              Use a recent Qt version and add the include to QString before.

                Use a recent Qt version and add the include to QString before.

                This is unfortunately not an option as I write a DLL for a main application using V6.5.3.
                Even when I just include <qstring> in the testcpp, I'm gettig the same error.

                  Simply try a recent version to see if it works...

                    Tested with the latest 6.x version - same error.
                    I suspect it has to do with the latest QT Tools..

                      Try it with a simple CMakeLists.txt on thee visual studio command line.

                        Found it!
                        This error was caused by the compiler option "/Zc:hiddenFriend-" !
